Weekly Word | Episode 41 | SOLAR ECLIPSE

Faction Cat is coming off of a career best race at Indiana Grand (posting an 89 Beyer) and has exited the race well. He will go for a pre-dawn jog in today’s video. Looking ahead, there are two allowance races for him to enter. September 9th at Kentucky Downs will be a 6.5f event on the turf – this will be our target and the back up will be September 15th at Churchill Downs going 7f on the dirt. It would be nice to see how FC goes on the grass, but those races tend to overfill meaning we might not get in. Please stay tuned to the Faction Cat page for updates and changes.

Jordan is very happy with Holiday Storm‘s progress. She breezed on Saturday… had Sunday off, and now returns to the track for a jog today. Next weekend should be her first published work on equibase at the 3f distance. After discovering what treats are, she has shown to favor butterscotch discs and will go right for your pockets if she smells them. We will probably have a better idea of her race debut date when she gets to working four furlongs. Until then, take a look at her extended pedigree profile below, plenty full of class:

Truman will head to central Kentucky next weekend to check on some private sale options for Group 4. We will have a recap of that trip next week. If you are in the Lexington area and want to tag along just holler.

And lastly, it’s football season… that means we have a fantasy football league drafting on Tuesday, September 5th at 8:00pm. Email Truman if you want to play for some Factions swag and meet a few of your Partners.

Oh gosh, sorry to hear about Deedee. I will call her this week if she is feeling up to it. Hope you guys are staying safe and dry in Louisiana. I visited Holiday Storm this evening and she was being really playful, had a nice breeze Wednesday and came out well.
